THE AT REST.
 Placed in Their Last Resting Place Captain Black Speaks at the Grave l Mrs. Parsons SwOOns Away on the | Coffin of Her Dead Husband.
 l CHICAGO, Dec. 1S--The four Anarchists who were hanged November 11-August | Spies, A. R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer and
 George Engel-and Louis Lingg, who cheat
 ed the gallows, were placed in their final resting place in Waldheim cemetery to-day I There was no di.order. The only dramatic feature of the occasion was brought about by
 Mrs. Parsons, the dusky wife of the dead An archist. She had kept in the back ground | at the cemetery during the preliminary exer- ! cises A few minutes before Captain Black -chief counsel for the Anarchists-conelud ed his address and while the spectators were | in 6 manner spellbound by the captains rhetoric someone shouted: "Make way for
 Mrs. Parsons" The solidly packed crowd gave way. A passage was made and
 Mrs. Parsons accompanied by Mir. and Mrs. William Holmes came forward. The nearest coffin to her was that of August Spies. Her husbands was the second from this. Mrs. Parsons seemed to pick out the casket in which she was most interested. At the mos ment her gaze caught it she gave voice to a vail which startled the crowd. Captain Black paused in his speech. The throng were startled. Then came a scream from Mrs Parsons which reached to the outer cir cIes of the crowd. Thrice she strove to speak, but the words refused to come out and she sank faintipg into the earms of her friends Captain Black came to the rescue by saying in a commanding tone: Someone take some fresh snow and rub the lady's face" Three men made soft snowballs, rubbed Mrs. Par- sons' temples and when she showed signs of consciousness she was carried away.
 The final arrangements as arranged by the committee consisted of two parts. The rel atives of the dead left tke city at 10 o'clock in carriages, starting from 636 Milwaukee avenue, where there is a saloon with hall
 overhead where laborers meet. The public
 went by train from the Wisconsin Central
 depot miles away from the other place. At
 the depot there were no scenes. There was
 only one police officer in uniform, but
 there were five city detectives scattered
 about The first train to start was the reg
 ular suburban one. It consisted of six
 cars partially filled. Half an hour later the
 special funeral train pulled out of the yard.
 The ten cars contained not over eight hun
 dred people. The demeanor of the people
 was that of picnic party. Nearly all the
 men smoked and the women displayed only
 curiosity When the train arrived at Wald
 helm stampede was made for the cemetery.
 The crowd gathered around a lot
 situated abont twelve hundred feet from
 the entrance. The vault iR which the bodies
 had been kept was situated few hundred
 fest to the north Quickly the cof6ns were taken from the vault and carried to the spot casket came first, borne by six members of the Aurora Turn Verein. Fischer's came second borne by Typographical union No. 9.
 Parsons' was in the hands of members of his old assembly. Engel's body was taken care of by the German Fresco Painters union and Louis Iiingg's remains were carried by a committee of Carpenters assembly No. 241.
 The caskeIs were placed on the hearse. On Spies' coffin were flowers and red ribbon;
 Fishers was similarly decorated. On Far sons was bouquet of simple red and yellow roses and these modest emblems served to bring out in bold relief the red cloths which covered the caskets of Engel and Lingg. The undertakers removed the lids from the cofins at the same time that the chief mourners took their places. Among the latter were Chris and Ferdinand Spies with their sister Gretchen and their aged mother. Nina Van Zandt and her mother, "Linggs girl" Mrs. Fischer with her daughters, Mrs, Engel ard close to her Mrs. Schwab, whose husband is in the penitentiary. All of the women were dressed in heavy mourning. Nina Van Zandt was 8 study. Not sign of emotion appeared on her features. She chatted con
  who shed tears was Gretchen Spies J. R. Buchanan acted as master of ceremonies Mounting box he directed the crowd to file past the cofins to take the last look at the faces of the dead. The features of all the dead were what is called 1ifelixe, that is, the embalming process had been a success and the counterfeit pink flush of life was on the cheeks. Not trace of decomposition was to be seen. So many people wished the privilege of looking at the faces that Mr. Blu chanan announced that the unsatisfed crowd should keep on moving and looking while the speeches went on.
 Before the addresses began & memorial hymn was sung by the Milwaukee Socialist Mennerchor. Then Captain Black spoke His address was remarkable in that it upheld in most fervid and eloquent words Christ as the example for his hearers to follow. His English auditors appreciated it, but the Ger mans who were nine-tenths of the listeners made no sign. After Captain Black came Paul Grottkau of Milwaukee, who was fol- lowed by Albert Currlin of St. Louis. Both the speakers were frequently applauded MT. Buchanan then had the coffin lids screwed on. At this moment Mrs. Fischer slipped forward and laid on the glass Q cabinet photograph of her two year old daughter and simultaneous l ly 6 man placed on Engel's coffin several copies of the Arbeiter Zeitung. Just as the word was given to the undertakers to remove
 the caskets representative of the Cleveland
 
 wreath on the casket of Lingg. The grave
 which had been prepared to receive the re-
 mains of the five Anarchists had been dug
 one hundred feet north of where the ceremo-
 ties took place. It was twelve feet deep and
 leading to it was an inclined plane dug out
 of the earth. At the bottom of the reeep-
 tacle is block of granite on which rests 8
 bed of cement Granite blocks are the walls
 and the top are two blocks of gran ite at least foot thick. This stone encased grave was made to receive ex- actly five pine boxes in which the five caskets were placed. The remains were carried down the incline and the sexton and his assistants as quickly placed them in posi- tion. Spies lies to the west, his head to the north and beside him lie in order Fischer, Parsons, Engel and Lingg. While this was being done the relations came down the in cline. The first emotion from Nina Van Zandt was displayed when the last coffin was lowered. Gretchen Spies was sobbing vio- lently when Nina broke down. But her tears \ were quietly launched and during the rest of time the young lady showed no violent grief. The grave diggers with the help of a derrick l then began to place the big granite capstone | in position moment before this task was ! accomplished two wreaths which had been brought to the cemetery were placed in the grave They were ordered by the New York Freiheit, Johann Most's paper The cap stone was lowered, cement was spread over 1t \ and the crowd walked quietly out of the com | etery, leaving the defense committee to see | that the grave was properly filled with earth.
